How to Make a Signature PNG
Three steps, and your signature is never uploaded.
Sign on white paper, then take a photo or scan it. Drop, paste or choose the picture; on a phone you can take the photo right here.
The paper, lines and shadows are removed at once. Keep the ink's own color or pick black, blue or any color, and set how faint a stroke still counts.
Save a transparent signature PNG cropped to the ink, at full size or 1200, 600 or 300 pixels wide, or an SVG that stays sharp at any size.
What This Signature PNG Maker Does Best
Six things it does well, from a quick phone photo to a signature on lined paper.
PhotoPaper and shadows removed
Paper, light and shadow are read around every stroke and taken out, so a quick phone photo makes a clean transparent signature.
Smooth, natural strokes
Each edge pixel keeps its own share of ink, so curves stay soft and the signature looks handwritten on any document, never jagged.
PhotoLines, grain and specks left out
Ruled lines, paper texture and stray dots are removed, while the dot of an i and every small stroke stay.
Black, blue or your own ink
Keep the ink's own color, or make the whole signature black, blue or any color, even from the first stroke to the last.
PhotoOnly the signature
A desk, a page edge or a printed mark around the paper is left out, and the signature PNG is cropped to the ink with the margin you choose.
Free and private
Everything runs in your browser: your signature is never uploaded, and there is no account and no watermark.
Guide: A Clean Signature PNG from Your Phone
Five short tips for a transparent signature that looks real.
Sign on plain white paper
Use a dark pen on white paper. A felt-tip or gel pen gives the boldest strokes; a fine ballpoint works too.
Take the photo in even light
Photograph from straight above in daylight, with the signature filling most of the frame. A soft shadow is fine: it is removed.
Set the sensitivity
Raise Sensitivity when faint strokes go missing; lower it when paper texture or lines show. Clear specks takes away tiny dots.
Keep only the signature
Keep the signature only clears marks away from it, such as a desk, a page edge or a printed line, while the dot of an i stays.
Use it in your documents
Place the signature PNG in Word, Google Docs, a PDF editor or your email signature. Use the SVG when it must stay sharp at any size.
